Am I still sleepy?

So…I’m not sure what time I went to bed last night.  I see that I posted at almost two, and I thought I had Camper in bed about a half hour after that, or maybe an hour…but I also remember being up at 3 and then feeding him one more ounce.  So I don’t know.  [...]

Aspirations of a Mommy-to-Be

Another interesting weekend, that’s for sure.  I am, at least, single digits away from my due date, although I think everyone around here wishes that number counted hours and not days.  I have, for the record, unequivocally learned what a contraction is.  And let me tell you, I did not know it when I felt [...]

All Work and No Play is Not What Erin Did Today

No work for me today.  Yesterday the newbie and I got through everything that needed to be done, and seeing as how I was feeling rather extraordinarily pregnant I thought that today might be a good day for her to fly solo and get some rest for myself. (Payroll starts Monday.) Last night was another [...]

Another doctor’s appointment today.  I went in trying to control my expectations- even though I felt like things were happening over the weekend, I know that you can never tell.  But it turns out I am a bit dialated, and 50% effaced.  The baby’s head is also at 0, which means he’s right there. He’s [...]

Today we slept in a wee because we had a morning appointment with our baby doctor.  I was told, through her examinations, that Camper is indeed head down (although the ease with which she was able to figure that out made me a little scared that he has a monster-sized dome), that I’m pretty much [...]

Oh What a Day

It’s actually been a good couple of days.  Camper-centered, like usual.  He’s been on the top of our minds and people have showered us with gifts for our little baby to be.  Yesterday we got a HUGE box from our Groton family.  TONS of clothes, I can’t even believe it.  Looks like BabiesRUs exploded in [...]

So last night was bad.  And by bad- I mean, “Hey Colon…how you doing this evening?” Answer: BAD.  I don’t really understand what happened…for a couple of weeks it seems like the prednisone has been working its magic, but then BAM.  Not so much.  And I thought iron was supposed to make me constipated?  I [...]

Giving Notice

My day…let’s see. Well, I woke up at about 6:45 feeling like I was sleeping with a boulder. My belly. Hard as a rock. It was kind of like when you decide you want really curly hair and so you sleep in those pink curlers…which seems like a good idea at [...]

Another Doctor Another Day

Yesterday was interesting. I got up…got ready for work. I made a decision to lay off the imodium. Mostly because I hadn’t gone to the bathroom in…over a week. I started to feel some familiar pain and realised that I needed to at the very least slow the pills down to [...]

Well there goes Monday. It was kind of “a day.” I think it started out slow because it was super dark outside- and I would have paid half a million dollars to not have to go to work on time. But alas- to work I went. I’m trying to appreciate it [...]
